    I think it could have broken $300 with race seats and full carbon, but without that, I don't see that car going over $300k. The color combination is nice, but its a relatively low specced car. Also, the buttons look like they have a lot more wear than I would have expected for 5k miles. Perhaps it sat in the sun too much. The diffuser bolts are rusting so my guess is that whomever owned this car must have lived close to an ocean. To me, I wouldn't pay more than $265k for the car.

    White on red (really red) is also a very particular color combo. Maybe that's a good resale combo, but that wouldn't have been my guess.

    Racing seats in red would really have made the interior better, I agree. Sticky buttons even on the low mile cars is an issue but it's easily addressed and every 458 has the same issue. Easy to fix for a few grand and it's done. I think the ferrari screws and fasteners on exterior are prone to light corrosion but again easy fix to order identical fasteners and swap out with some time and detailing bring back to fresh look. I think it will crack 300, I have seen higher msrp but it does have the most expensive carbon option to add after the fact ( the rear carbon bumper) and my favorite factory carbon option. The other carbon bits can be added easily but not the rear bumper option. That is a totally different bumper and is very expensive to add after the fact. Lets see what this one brings...

    . Thats just the sticky button issue, not wear. Doesn't really have anything to do with mileage, just age. Pretty expensive to fix it all properly though.

    How much can I expect to pay for a black 2011 coupe with bucket seats, lift, carbon and like 20k-25k miles. I just want basically a good drivers car.

    If you want race seats, lots of carbon, lift etc. I would think in the $180k area, pure guess on my part. If you're willing to go up in the 30k mile range, probably $165k.

    Here's a graph of 2011 predicted Listing prices vs mileage for black 2011 Italia's.

    Now if you're looking for alot or carbon (or the carbon seats) you're going to be looking at above average prices. Since these are listing prices you can expect to negotiate about 5-10% below that.

    I would guess 200k plus minus depending on color, condition, and specs.

    2011 with carbon fiber seats are rare
    That option did not catch on until later in the 2010-2015 model run
    Be prepared to pay a premium for carbon race seats on a 458

    I’ll buy any 458 with clean title and clean fax for 165 you can find me. With race seats too? Lol.


    OP, budget $200K for black with race seats, sub 40K miles.

    Truth!...even through the 488 carbon seats are rare. F8 is really when carbon race seats showed up a lot more I noticed. I have carbon race seats in. my F8. I like them, they look great but they are not for everyone.

    Brought 302,500 with BAT fees, well bought. If that car had racing seats and front lift it would have brought well over its original MSRP. I would have bid MSRP on it personally if it had those two options.

    The buyer actually paid 302,500 with fees so it did crack 300 as I suspected. I think it's right in line with what it's worth with the options and miles and original msrp of 314K. The Spiders are strong and will continue to be my local dealer said he has a list of buyers requesting collector quality 458's

    Hey guys, I bought it. I just really kept striking out on 458 spiders, and I haven't seen one with race buckets pop up in the color combo I was looking for in forever.

    Just wanted to finally get one of these in the stable for a little bit. I definitely wish it had the seats, and the FAL is always a major plus for re-sale purposes.

    I will look to address the bolts, and what other carbon can I add, and do you know where to source from? Looking forward to owning this one.
